Today, we welcomed to the show, Claudia Labbe, the Fundraising/Public Relations Chairperson for Your Humane Society SPCA (also known as the Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County, Florida). Claudia has loved animals all her life but until age 21 was allergic. When she was free from her allergies her pet family grew. Today she has a horse, a donkey, a mini mule, a dog and two cats. She is a vocal advocate for estate planning for your pets reminding pet parents, “It is just one more way to be a responsible pet owner.”
Today’s guest was Francia Vogini, President of Husky Haven of Florida. Francia began rescuing dogs seven years ago when she saw a dog on social media that needed a foster home. Although she already had three huskies of her own, her heart said she needed to get involved. She helped find a forever home for her foster and saw how much this dog helped the adopter overcome her depression. That was all it took and Francia was hooked. Read more

What is the Paw and Feather Plan? The Paw and Feather Plan was created in 2018 by Jessica Pita to provide care for pets when a pet parent is no longer able, due to death, illness or extreme life events. They specialize in placing pets in permanent, loving homes.
Jessica has been a shelter volunteer and an employee. She has seen the sadness, the agony and heartbreak that loved pets experience when they have lost their pet parent. Pets are given up to shelters for many reasons – but one reason a pet should NEVER be in a shelter is because the pet parent didn’t have a plan. Read more
